Sherwood Anderson built his literary reputation on his to-the-point novels about American life. When he turned his hand to poetry, he stayed on-message - producing a powerful collection of verse that sometimes punches hard enough to wind you. 'A New Testament' pulls together at-times visceral poems describing the people and places around him and themes including death, hunger and a visit from God. Strap yourself in for a rugged ride! The work of Sherwood Anderson is ideal for fans of authors he influenced, including Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck.
